What are some ways to try to minimize neuropathy during chemo?

I kept them on my feet the whole hour, no issues. I could not tolerate it on my hands the whole time so had to take breaks.

I am just beginning chemotherapy Carboplatin and Paclitaxel weekly for 3 months. I’m using multiple sets of ice mittens/socks from Amazon and a Cold Cap ( available at my local facility) to help with Neuropathy and hair loss. I start ice 20 minutes before chemo, during and for 90 minutes after. Then I am walking 3 miles a day. (so far)) Fingers crossed that this helps. I will keep everyone posted. 🙏🏻🤞I do take my extremities out for a few minutes when they get too cold.

It seems a lot of you had better Infusion center than I had because no one ever suggested or recommended anything. I was told I would loose my hair but no one ever suggested a cold cap. While neuropathy was listed in the handouts as a side effect, nothing was ever discussed as to preventatives. I will admit I was a bit shell-shocked and probably didn’t ask the appropriate questions. Anyway, I did end up with neuropathy, predominantly legs and feet. Was told it should go away in 10-12 weeks post chemo. So even though mentioned at every visit after, it was finally after 5 months when I finally said “so at this point I guess this is permanent?” The recommendation at that point was alpha lipoic acid, 600mg twice daily. It actually worked over the course of 6 months. I still have a touch on the bottom of the left foot but that’s it.
